a whole under his so-called twenty first century socialism policy is what this is meant as a nationalization of certain industries as well as the use of venezuela's revenues from oil exports to really focus attention on some of the poorest segments of the population here at the same time venezuela is plagued with a high crime rate one of the highest in the world as well as corruption and these are just some of the issues that have been seized on by the opposition candidate and the previous he's a forty year old very wealthy businessman who criticize the country's economic policies now he's also promised to improve relations with the west now critics say and fear that he would really represent a radical shift for the country in the sense that he could impose austerity programs and possibly roll back some of those popular economic social justice missions that hugo chavez has put into place now the results of this election will be significant far beyond this country's borders we have to keep in mind that venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves and the winner will get to determine just how to use this multi-trillion dollar assets with the likes of the

u.s. wants access to that as well as black gold they aren't likely to get it under chavez administration the president has promised to ramp up production and reduce his country's dependence on the western markets by doubling crude exports to asia according to chavez as a new world order at that the west is just going to have to get used to. when the world ones out of petroleum five countries which possess the majority of reserves will remain those are russia iran saudi arabia iraq invent as well apart from the political side to the issue but as well rose up against new liberalism when it was thought the world would only be dominated by washington's will but as its keep . a world power you're asking if my victory in this election is dangerous it could only be. dangerous for those striving to dominate the world. now again the last time venezuelans took to the polls to vote for their president was six years ago there is massive excitement here both candidates have called on supporters to come

to the streets early even hours before the polls opened it's a very festive mood people are very excited about this opportunity to really have a strong say about which direction they want the country and the region to go on and we will of course keep you updated throughout the day on these developments. but as well as exit would be warmly welcomed by washington for an array of reasons says james specter us professor of sociology at new york's binghamton university. the united states would like to get rid of chavez and put on more malleable client like capri lace facon for a student show has taken a very independent foreign policy position opposing the us military intervention in the middle east he's opposed to u.s. free trade agreement and has been in extraordinarily influential. president in fomenting latin american integration which essentially means the exclusion of

the united states so all along the line president chavez has been defining an alternative route for latin america is sensually you have two different philosophies you have chavez promoting social democracy in a in the generic sense of the word against a candidate who wants to go back to turn the clock back to the one nine hundred ninety s. nail liberal policies privatization primacy of your ties to the u.s. it's cetra so you have a real choice and not an echo in in this election. it's been a week of unrest and then with clashes between police and anti-government protesters in bahrain authorities are cracking down almost daily on the opposition that's calling for more rights and an end to discrimination on monday the country's court upheld jail terms for nine medics who helped to treat probably formed campaigners at a later demonstrators threw petrol bombs and stones at security officials following

them were able to actually get out of the country with this content so you can imagine surprise when we got back to the u.s. and this content was airing on c.n.n. and right after that is when the phone calls started coming into the network complaining about me and trying to get my coverage. is paying c.n.n. to create content that shows bahrain in a favorable light even though c.n.n. says this content you know is editorially independent it doesn't. affect that what we've seen that with this documentary not airing and also with the constant struggle i had c.n.n. to get bahrain coverage accurate coverage of the human rights abuses on air while i was there what c.n.n. is doing is they're essentially creating what some people have termed infomercials for dictators and that's the sponsored content that they're airing on c.n.n. international that's actually being paid for by regimes and governments and this violates every principle of journalistic ethics because we're supposed to be

watchdogs on these governments we're not supposed to allow them to be paying customers as journalists on the way georgian dream becomes reality the countries on the block secures a crucial victory over the ruling party forcing president saakashvili to go on the defensive. and tell us crusade a thousand strong peace rally nor threats as it sets out. pakistan's most troubled region the story. is the legacy no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes being black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the. bergen archipelago don't make

debate this week polls show that romney overwhelmed and comment obama commanding the ninety minute verbal duel romney said his rival is in favor of trickle down government while obama said romney would bring the nation back to bush era economic policies the us president has a slight edge in the polls but is vulnerable due to criticism over weak growth unemployment. and health care reform rocking atterson presidential candidate for the justice party thinks voters lack a real choice here with me so i i left the democratic party and helped form the justice party because now the republican and democratic parties are simply one do awfully they have a stranglehold on our electoral system from the stage of getting on the ballot all the way through the debate process and they have both been bought and paid for by the same special interest we have a plutocracy not

a democracy in the united states where our government has for sell to the highest bidder romney would bring us along the same path that led to the economic committee disaster in two thousand and eight with huge tax cuts for the wealthy enormous deficits low employment rates and president obama has a pathetic record he's the only president that has presided over three years of unemployment of over eight percent it absolutely can be changed but which we know that that's what the american people want it's simply that we don't have those elected to office that are willing to take on those special interest. hundreds of pakistanis joined by foreign peace activists are marching through the country in protest against u.s. drone strikes the convoy led by cricket legend and opposition from when i'm wrong khan. is heading to south waziristan a region plagued by insurgency and most frequently targeted by american missiles

this despite warnings from pakistan's taliban militants that protesters could be targeted by suicide bombers political activist believes a rally has the full support of the people. or the grand jury go out of that region has welcomed him there it would be only an assistance that is being provided by the government a box which does not want to open this area of who exposure because for the past five years they've been hiding the fact that zones have been a region on the on the public front they actually deny it but on privately behind the doors with the u.s. government they actually accept the fact just a simple attack on a silver energy and unfortunately for the last five years our government has actually bought into the american war and the american war has now become our war and they should be should catch on all of these terrorists that are doing it but unfortunately not able they're not able to handle the economic affairs of the

country let alone disturb the mission that has been be fall in our country and guard. now take a look at some other stories from around the world israel's military has shut down a drone over the country's southern desert the origins of the aircraft are unknown the drone was not carrying explosives however israeli officials called the incident a potential act of terrorism in the past similar missions have been carried out by lebanese militant group hezbollah. radical islamist cleric abu hamza three has appeared in court in new york on terrorism charges who was extradited from britain along with four other man could face a life sentence is accused by washington of supporting a kidnapping and plotting to open a training camp for militants in the u.s. four other suspects have already pleaded not guilty to charges of being involved in the one nine hundred ninety eight bombing of american embassies in kenya and tanzania that killed over two hundred people. miners in south africa.

have rallied against the dismissal of twelve thousand of the er colleagues. they were sacked after staging a strike demanding better pay and conditions the protesters are also mourning miners killed by police clashes that began two months ago so far forty eight people have died and i am going on rest. opposition in georgia are still celebrating after arresting the majority of seats in parliament away from the ruling party in monday's vote the georgian dream bloc secured more than half of the votes while president saakashvili his allies barely top forty percent and as i say a chef he reports the leaders authority has been rocked. it was a jubilation like never before seen in billy c. it felt like georgia had won the world cup. their win was not yet been found but thousands took to the streets to celebrate supporters of it it was this in particular that in central square policing played out in the exit poll results

suggest that their party could be victorious in the parliamentary election something hardly any one of them we have expected in the world months ago last year the ruling party is rating was at seventy percent and nobody could challenge that so confident was saakashvili that he amended the constitution granting more powers to the prime minister a position many predicted he would eventually feel himself little did he know he was digging his own hole won't he move this changes to the constitution does it count as a dream that he never see the parliament these are the majority of. it that's legal that's however this situation did not come out of nowhere prison torture tapes released in september really the hardest thousands took to the streets as allegations emerged that he personally ordered the torture and filming of these atrocities and now the president could even lose his job with the possible

next prime minister really already making his intention clear. there were guns this man's ideology has established a climate of lies and violence and torture it would be good if he submits his resignation rather than now starting various procedures to force him to resign saakashvili did concede defeat live on there but the question remains whether he's really ready to let go of the reins it could be a dramatic change or it could be the herald of a period of infighting talk to his admission of defeat in a sense perhaps shows that he's a wounded animal but the would be still a fear that he would use the prerogatives of the president to try to split the opposition remember it's a rather disparate group of people who have been primarily united. by. really it wasn't only the prison tape scandal which brought saakashvili fortress of power down say experts corruption among elites daunting poverty and playing hardball with russia all contributed the new ruling party says it will address these issues in

the first place but as the party continues in belief georgia is bracing itself for a new era and the first peaceful transition of power in its post soviet history. r.t. reporting from billy c. in georgia well that's a special report on the toxic legacy of the u.s. war and yet now. well for the. syrians technology innovation all the moves developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
